HISTORICAL SKETCH 



OF 



THE SAINT ANDREW'S SOCIETY OF PHILADELPHIA. 



The love of home and kindred lias always and everywhere 
been held to distinguish man from the brute, — the civilized and 
educated man from the wandering savage, — and to the honor 
of our compatriots nowhere has burned more brightly the 
sacred flame than in the hearts of Scotland's children. No 
distance, no remoteness in time or place from the ancestral 
home extinguishes it, and though many a weary league of land 
and sea, or numerous generations may separate them from the 

"Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, 
Land of the mountain and the flood," 

and though poverty, or affliction, or other circumstances may 
prevent their ever treading the sacred soil of their fatherland, 
still longingly they gaze far over the seas to the ancient hills 
and lovingly remember their brethren at home and abroad. 

When Philadelphia was settled many a Scotchman was 
gradually attracted to the new country, and, as Scotchmen 
always do, they soon rose to positions of honor and profit in 
the various departments of life. 

But the old love of home and kindred animated them, and 
while our city, now so large and populous, was but like a babe 
in its swaddling-clothes, and Third Street was the western 
boundary of its built-up part, in December, 1749, certain

Scotchmen, honor to their memory, met and adopted the 
following 

Rules foe The St. Andrew's Society. 

advertisement. 

That peculiar benevolence of mind which shews itself by 
charitable actions in giving Relief to the poor and distressed, 
has been always justly esteem'd one of the first-rate moral 
Virtues. Any Persons then who form themselves into a 
Society with this Intention must certainly meet with the 
Approbation of every candid and generous mind, and we hope 
it will plainly appear by the Rules which are to follow that 
The St. Andrew's Society, of Philadelphia, was Solely Insti- 
tuted with that view. But as the Charities of this Society are 
to be somewhat confin'd, it may not be amiss, briefly, to men- 
tion the reasons by way of Apology for it. 

The design of Society in general is undoubtedly universal 
Good, yet as it is impossible that all Mankind can be join'd in 
one Society, bodies of men have separated themselves into dis- 
tinct Societies, which are call'd Nations. Now all the Publick 
Acts of these National Societies either are or ought to be calcu- 
lated principally to promote the particular happyness and welfare 
of that Nation where they are made. In Nations again for a 
reason of the very same kind men form themselves into Cor- 
porations and other Societies for promoting some particular 
Good which cither had not or could not be so well provided for 
by the Publick acts of the Community. On this Account wc are 
humbly of Opinion it will never be reckon'd a good Objection 
against any private Society that the ends propos'd by it are 
not General but confin'd to particulars under certain Circum- 
stances: Provided always that nothing can be aim'd at by any 
such private Society inconsistent with the Public Good. Now 
to apply this to the present purpose We who are Natives ol 
that Part of Great Britain call'd Scotland and reside in the 
City of Philadelphia meeting frequently with our Country 
people here in distress who generally make application to some 



THE s.MNT ANDIIKW r 8 80CTBTY OF PHILADELPHIA. I 

one or other of us for relief have agreed to form ourselves into 
a Soeietv in order to provide for these [ndigents whereby they 
may be more easily more regularly and more bountifully Sup- 
plv'd than cou'd well be done in the common troublesome way 
of making < Occasional collections for such purposes. As we 
propos'd to restrict the Charities of our Society to our Indigent 
Country Folks alone so it was our original intention to admit 
none hut Scotsmen horn into the Society and to apply to or 
receive Contributions from none else. But upon considering 
that many descended of Scots Parents might he both able and 
willing to contribute towards a Charitable design of this Nature 
whereby their own Kinsmen from Scotland might some time or 
other herelicv'd in time of want and Necessity wejudg'd upon 
mature deliberation that it wou'd be wrong to exclude them 
from joining with us. For this reason, we concluded to leave 
an opening for the Admission of such of them as shall be so 
disposed. At the same time we have endeavoured to preserve 
a fair and just Ballance betwixt those from whom the Money 
is to be Collected and those to whose relief it is to be apply 'd, 
so that as far as the original design of this Society will permit 
all who have any connection with the Contributors are intitl'd 
to the Charity of it. Others its true are not. Yet if by our 
Rules all others besides Scotsmen born, the sons of Scotsmen 
who may be members of this Society, or the Widows and 
Children of the Members are excluded from the benefit of it 
let it be likewise Considered that the same Rules limit the Con- 
tributions Agreeable to this So that we hope there is not the 
least room left for reflections of partiality. No injustice is done 
to any private man since if he contributes himself or Friends 
may reap an advantage and it can never be pretented that the 
Public can sustain any Injury Seeing on the contrary it may 
be the means frequently of saving the money alloted by the 
Public for Charitable Uses but cannot possibly interfere with 
any Public utility whatever. 

Thus it appears that the design of this Society is fair equit- 
able and Innocent and to convince the AYorkl that it is so we 



8 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF 

thought it proper to take this method of making Public our 
Rules. 

Upon the whole we are sensible there are Societies of the 
-.line Denominations in other places of a more General ami 
extensive Nature both as to Collecting and applying the 
Charities collected, and indeed it is but right if they are so in 
the one they ought to be so in the other. 

But it is our Opinion for reasons which appear to us good 
Ones that the St. Andrew's Society in this place shou'd be 
constituted agreeable to the above Plan and accordingly have 
unanimously Voted and Agreed to the following Rules for the 
Better management and Improvement of the same. 

THE rules. 

1. The Society shall be eall'd by the name of the St. 
Andrew's Society at Philadelphia in Pensilvania,

copied verbatim into the .Minute Book asa Surgeon from Gal- 
lowayshire, Scotland, as having been captured by the French 

and Spanish some 5 or 6 times within three years, as having 
escaped from a Spanish prison and as now confined in the 
Prison at Philada. for debt. For his relief 40s. were given. 

The old minute-book is largely taken up with petitions for 
relief, many of* which are very curious hut generally too long 
for insertion here. A few gleanings may he admitted. 

27 Aug. 1750 £5. 9s. were paid for a "strong box" for the 
Society. This box is now in the possession of the Society and 
is simply a large wooden box, which any of the accomplished 
"cracksmen" of the present day would open in two minutes. 

Aug. 31. 1750. The following petition was read and is here 
inserted as a curiosity of the "good old times." 

" About 18 years ago Janet Clealand on the earnest entreaties 
of her uncle -John Gibbs late of Maryland deceased was pre- 
vailed on to make over a small patrimony which she had in 
Scotland to the said Gibbs' Brother as also quit her native 
country and attend her said uncle to Maryland relying on his 
solemn promise of being there handsomely supported by him 
during his life and having a considerable share of estate after 
his death — said Janet continued to live with and faithfully 
serve her said uncle as his housekeeper from her first arrival 
in Maryland until his death except at some particular times 
when bad council joined to his unhappy temper made him 
drive her from him for some days until cool reflection took 
place — he then always expressed a concern for treating her in 
that manner — she returned to serve him as usual for the truth 
of which as also of his frequent declarations that he brought 
her from Scotland on purpose to make her his Heiress, she can 
appeal to several gentlemen now living in Maryland. Some 
years before his death he was afflicted with sickness and made 
his will and thereby devised and bequeathed all he should die 
possessed of (saving debts and few legacies) to the said Janet. 
Dr. Wells the Physician who attended him at that time is now 
living and can prove this assertion as also several declarations 
of her uncles in 'her favor. In 1747 Mr. Gibbs died of an 



16 BISTORICAL SKETCH OF 

ulcer iii hia head and during his miserable sickness (which 
from the beginning deprived him of his reason as Dr. Williams 
who attended him has testified) his (the said Gibbs') negroes 
and their associates would in the Doctor's absence and in spighl 
of the said Janet's endeavors to prevent it frequently give him 
large quantities of rum which added greatly to his disorder. 
In this condition he was prevailed on to make another will 
whereby he cuts the said Janet and all his other relations 
entirely off, sets all his negroes free and leaves them all lie 
died possessed of except his plate and a few legacies which he 
thereby gives to strangers by virtue of which will the Degrees 
and their associates have got possession of all her the said 
Janet's uncle died possessed of &c and she is now left entirely 
destitute as well of money to procure herself justice as of the 
means of supporting herself which her age and infirmities now 
render incapable of — " 

The Society voted her C~. to carry on her lawsuit and rec- 
ommended the members to give all the assistance they could, 
but subsequent entries show that the unfortunate Janet lost 
her suit entirely. 

At the same meeting — Wm Middle notifies the Society that 
he intends to be a ( Jandidate for Sheriff but thinks a " particu- 
lar application due to Gentlemen of so much influence as those 
that compose this Honorable Society — ." 

July 22: 1751. — A letter of thanks was sent to Messrs. [nnes 
& (dark of London for the present of a Seal to the Society. 

Nov. 30, 1751. — The Rules of the Society underwent con- 
siderable amendments, and on the same day il was ordered that 

the future meetings should be at the Assembly room OH Mr. 

Hamilton's wharf, (many members objecting to a public tavern) 
and a committee was appointed to procure wine and other 
necessaries for their accommodation. 

Feb. 7, 1752. Mary Stark presents a petition stating that 
-he was 1 >< nn in Glasgow of reputable parents but seduced 
and decoyed thence to A merica at the age of nine years, and 
was in want — 50s. allowed. At the same time 1 gentlemen 

were fined 10a. each f<>r refusing to serve as Secretary. 



THE SAINT ANPKKw's SOCIETY OF PHILADELPHIA. 17 

Aug. 31, 1753. Dr. Thompson and John Inglis were 
directed to provide a dinner for the Society at the next Anni- 
versary — "the dinner not to exceed 5 shillings a man for eating 

to lie on the table by 2 o'clock in the afternoon — the bill to be 
brought in and deliver'd to the Secretary by live o'clock after- 
noon." 

April 23, 1755. — Eight pounds were paid to .John Sibbald 
Cor a quarter cask of Madeira. 

May 31, 1755. The following entry occurs. 

" A dispute arising whether the members present that came 
after seven o'clock (six being- the hour appointed for meeting) 
shall be fined or no. — The Vice President summed up what 
was said on the occasion and put it to the Vote of the Company 
who were almost unanimous they ought to be excused the fine. 
Note — they were all absent except the clerk." 

Feb. 29th, 1757. — (How this date occurs is not explained.) 
Dr. MacCleane is stated to be charged with a crime of a very 
atrocious nature and is therefore forbidden the meetings. 

Feb. 28, 1758. — £100 were ordered to be put out at interest. 

May 31, 17G4, the Society being in straits, petitions for 
charity being rejected "because no money;" the Treasurer and 
Mr. ('has. S ted man are ordered to collect the dues. 

Nov. 30, 17G5. Complaints were made as to extravagances 
and the officers were directed thereafter to provide a cold 
supper for 10 or 12 persons, reckoning to be called at 11 
o'clock and clubbed by the members present. No liquor to be 
brought in except on the officers' orders. 

Aug. 31, 1770. The following entry occurs : 

" The SccY advertized according to custom but the President 
and Vice President judg'd proper to put off this meeting owing 
to a number of the members being out of town or more par- 
ticularly on account of the convulsed and unsettled state of the 
times. 

"Mr. Lee was order'd not to provide for the Company and 
the subscriber deems it necessary to make this memorandum he 
having done his duty. 

" Axeas Uuquhart."

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF 



Nov. 30, 1776. — 7 members were present. The old officers 
were continued and all petitions for relief were referred to the 
old Committee, and the Company adjourned without supping 
having first made a compensation to Mr. Leefor his trouble in 
preparing to entertain them. 

The Society seems to have had at different times various 
places of meeting, among which may be named Mr. Bunn's 
tavern. Fleece tavern, Ton tavern, Bunch of Grapes, Masonic 
Lodge, and Mr. Hamilton's wharf. 

Thus ends the old minute-book. The next one in the pos- 
session of the Society commences Nov. 30, 1786. 

Before passing ou to notice anything of interest therein con-

Ices, Meringues, Charlotte Busse, Fruits, Coffee. 

Sherry, Latour Blanche, Champagne, Brandy, etc. 

Continuing our memoranda of events seeming to merit 
notice, we find : 

1789, Nov. 30. — An invitation to the dinner of the St. 
George's Society, and that our officers were directed to return 
the compliment. 

1790, May 31.— "The enormity" of the expense of the 
Anniversary dinner is objected to and ordered thereafter not 
to exceed 10 shillings each. 

1790, Nov. 30. — The old seal was disapproved on account of 
^he motto "Ubi Libertas ibi Patria," and a new plate for the 
diplomas was ordered to be procured. 

1792, Nov. 21.— The officers of the St. George's and Hiber- 
nian Societies were invited to the dinner, and at the same time 
it was resolved that the spare moneys be invested, and that 
it was proper to apply to the Supreme Court for an act of 
incorporation. 

1793, Feb. 28. — The Treasurer reported that lie had pur- 
chased SI 01 2.29 of the deferred Debt of the V. S. at the rate 
of 12 sh. (i pence to the pound. 

1793, May 31. — Wm. M.Smith and Richard Lake were 
elected ( ounsellors — apparently the first time such officers 
were chosen. 

1797, Dec. 1.- — -The Anniversary dinner was held to-day. 
Nov. 30 being "Fast Day" among the Presbyterians. As 
most of our member.- belonged to that denomination they 



the saint andbbw's society of Philadelphia. 21 

doubtless played a better knife and fork on account of the ab- 
stinence of the previous day. 

L799, Nov. 21. — The officers of the German and Welsh 
Societies were directed to be invited to the Annual dinner. 

1801, Dec. 23. — The expenses of the Annual dinner over 
the money received therefor were directed to be paid by the 
officers ordering the same. 

1805, Nov. 21. — It was directed that the dinners should be 
furnished at $3 per head, which it was hoped would be suf- 
ficient until 10 o'clock, the members who remained paying the 
bill after that hour. This was afterwards reported as not 
practicable. 

1807, Noe. 30. — A Committee was appointed to inquire 
whether a charter had ever been procured, which Committee 
at the next meeting reported that no traces of any charter 
could be found. 

1808, Dec. ?>. — A Committee reports that the whole property 
of the Society consisted of a Certificate for $1012.29 of the 
Deferred debt and $277.99 in the Treasurer's hands. 

1809, Feb. 28. — Notice was given that a Charter of Incor- 
poration had been drawn up, passed and enrolled. (See Ap- 
pendix No. 1.) 

1809, Dec. 4.— $100 were directed to be invested. 

1810, Feb. 28. — The subject of building a Hall for the So- 
ciety was broached, but it was afterwards laid aside as being 
beyond their means. 

At the same meeting all fines incurred before being incor- 
porated were cancelled, but with the usual Scottish prudence 
it was provided that any member desiring to pay his fines 
should be permitted to do so. 

1811, Nov. 23. — Members were authorized to invite any 
respectable Scotch friend to the Annual dinner. 

1812, Feb. 29. — The charities of the previous year reported 
as $223. 

This same year the custom seems to have arisen of holding 
a meeting one month before the anniversary, to make prepara- 
tions for the dinner. 



22 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF 

1815, Feb. 28. — Investments of the Society reported to be 
$2436.84.

directed to be bought. 

1819, Dee. 7. — Reported that applicants for charity are 
guilty of going to different Assistants and getting more than 
is right. And the Assistants were divided into pairs for each

1829, Aug. 81. — Steps are directed to be taken to secure a 
legacy of $1000 left to the Society by .Mr. McKenzie. 

IS:;:;, Feb. 28.— Assets reported $4045.24. 

With the entry of Nov. 1 1, 1833, this minute-book ends. 

The next minute-book in the possession of the Society is 
the one opened by the present Secretary, — Oct. 31, 1864. 

( ontinuing the chronological jottings as before : 

1865, April 20. — At a special meeting the Society adopted 
resolutions expressing their abhorrence of the murder of Presi- 
dent Lincoln, and agreed to attend his funeral procession in a 
body. 

1866, Feb. 28.— §1000 City of Pittsburg Bond was pre- 
sented l<> the Society by Mr. ("has. Macalester, their President, 
the interest of which he directed should be applied towards 
defraying the expenses of the Quarterly suppers. 

1868, Feb. 29. — A Committee was appointed to report what 
minutes of the Society were in its possession. The ( 'ommittee, 
on May 30, '68, reported the two minute-books heretofore 
mentioned, and the former Secretary was directed to hunt up 
the missing minutes, and to write up the minutes kept by him- 
self as Secretary, which it was stated he had in his possession in 
MS. On May .".1, '69, the Committee reported that the minute- 
book from 18:; I to 1840 or 18 12 had been placed by the Sec- 
retary in a tire-proof safe in the office of Mr. E wing, and was 
believed to have been stolen therefrom, but search was making 



the saint Andrew's society of Philadelphia. 23 

therefor, and the loose minutes from 1840 or 1842 to 1864 
were being collated and arranged by the Secretary, who had 
kept them. Aug. 31, '69,the Committee were directed to ap- 
ply for the loose minutes and arrange them. Feb. 28, '70, re- 
ported that a large bundle of loose papers had been handed 
over by the former Secretary. On examination many had 
proved worthless, and it was probably impossible to engross 
them systematically. They were subsequently very carefully 
collated and arranged and a number of minutes of meetings, 
from Nov., 1844, to Feb., 1862, recovered and written in a 
proper volume 

1870, May 31. — Subscriptions of $870 to the Supper Fund 
reported, and that the same had been invested at interest. 

1870, Aug. 31. — Reported that the President, Mr. Macal- 
ester, after the adjournment of the last meeting, offered to give 
$1000 more to the Supper Fund if the members would sub- 
scribe $2000 additional, and that nearly $1000 had already been 
paid in, and at subsequent meetings the payment of the whole 
amount needed and the receipt from Mr. Macalester of his 
subscription were reported. 

1870.— Draft of new Charter submitted and adopted. 
Amended May 31, 1871, and on Feb. 29, 1872, it was reported 
that the same had been granted by the Court. (See Appendix.) 

1871, Feb. 28. — Investments of the Society reported as fol- 
lows : 

General Fund ) $5720, 

Supper Fund j at paF ' 3100, 

and in August following the Supper Fund had been made up 

to $5100 in investments at par values. 

1872, May 31. — By Laws reported and adopted. These 
have since been slightly amended, and, together with the new 
Charter, will be found in the Appendix. 

1874, Feb. 28.— A legacy of $1000 to the Society from their 
late President, Charles Macalester, was reported. 

1874, Oct. 31. — A Committee was appointed to consult with 
the other Scotch Societies upon the subject of a monument to 
Walter Scott in Fairmount Park. 



24 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 

1875, May 31. — Committee reported an arrangement with 
The Union Benevolent Society to distribute all charities. This 
was not found to work well in practice and was discontinued 
after a short trial. 

At the same meeting a subscription list was started to help 
in the erection of a monument to John Witherspoon, D.D., a 
Signer of the Declaration of Independence and a member of 
this Society. 

The monument was subsequently erected and St. Andrew's 
was represented at the opening ceremonies. 

1880, Nov. 1. — The Strong Box was ordered to be refitted, 
painted and put in order, and deposited in The Fidelity Trust 
Company, with our books and papers. 

Thus ends our chronological summary of the history of the 
Society. While we have to lament the loss of our minutes for 
thirty busy years, in which the Society was growing stronger 
in influence, character, and resources, we have still the liles of 
the newspapers of the day, which show that the Society was 
flourishing, busy in good works, and with laudable regularity 
promoting mutual acquaintance and friendship by its annually 
recurring commemoration dinner. 

At no time has its roll of active resident members been 
larger or its resources as ample as now, and we fondly indulge 
the hope that each succeeding year may bear witness to a steady 
healthy growth, and that it may endure forever. 

The principal relic in the Society's possession is the sword of 
General Hugh Mercer, who was killed in the battle of Trenton 
during the Revolution. At the time of the dedication of the 
Mercer Monument at Laurel Hill Cemetery our Society occu- 
pied a place of honor, and was mainly instrumental in causing 
the same to be erected.

CATALOGUE OF MEMBERS

This Catalogue lias been compiled from the following sources: 

I. The Minute- Books of the Society. 
II. The prior Catalogues — printed or MSS. 
III. The Ledgers and Cash Books. 

Aided by whatever other memoranda have been found and 
which seemed to give any information. 



It is not pretended that it is complete, nor is all therein con- 
tained to be implicitly relied upon as correct ; it is only put forth 
as the best now to be had. By reason of the loss of minutes, the 
diverse spellings of names in memoranda preserved, and the great 
want of system in former records, it is more than probable that 
the names of some members have been entirely lost, and it is also 
likely that others are spelled wrongly, improper dates given, and, 
perhaps, some few duplicated. I can only say that I have given 
much care, time, and attention to avoid errors of every kind, and 
have done the very best I could do with the material at my com- 
mand. 

It was at one time apparently the practice to accept gifts from 
divers persons, very frequently captains of merchant vessels fre- 
quenting Philadelphia, and those persons are styled honorary 
members. They appear invariably to have been Scotchmen. I 
have not entered intentionally any such persons as members, but 
have catalogued only the resident members. This practice died

likely is that of a resident member, and there can be but very few, 
if any, names previous thereto who were not resident members. 

The work of collating the Ledgers and Cash Books was per- 
formed by Mr. Hunter Stedman, who, in so doing, has only added 
another to the very many obligations due him from The Saint 
Andrew's Society.
